Warcraft 3, is it fun/good?

[Moldran]

I've never thought much about single player RTS. ( OTOH, I haven't played too many RTS too be honest) The computer is either stupid or cheats. That happens in games of all genres.  It's perfectly fine in a game like Diablo, but you're supposed to be playing on equal terms.  It's really hard to program a good AI for an RTS. It's just a matter of time before someone finds a way to exploit its flaws in a way that one normaly shouldn't be able to. The real challenge of these games are your human counterparts- the computer is a stepping stone.

BTW, is there an RTS with a AI that is worth playing? :P

Actually, the SC/BW AI is pretty good, IMO. It uses almost no cheats and will usualy beat a newbie player 1v1. That is much better than the AI in most other RTS I have seen. I would say it´s worth playing... games like 3 humans vs 5 comps can be fun even for experienced players. Blizzard did a good job on that one.

But I agree with you, RTS games are made for MP. No AI in the world can replace a human opponent.
